MATLAB Installation Guide for PC

Performing Common License Management Tasks

MATLAB concurrent installations include a set of license management tools provided by FLEXlm. Using these tools you can:

• Monitor the status of all network licensing activities
• Diagnose license key problems
• Start up and shut down all license daemons, both the license manager (lmgrd.exe) and all vendor daemons on the license server node
• Cause the license manager daemon to reread the License File and start any new vendor daemons
• Determine the Host ID of a system
• Switch the report log file
• Determine the FLEXlm version of a library or binary file

You can access these tools by using:

• The command line (lmutil.exe)
• A GUI (lmtools.exe)
• A control panel interface (flexlm.cpl)

The following sections describe how to use each method.

Note    You must run these tools on the system on which the license manager is running.
